Just a question for all Thermalright HR03 (Vanilla, Rev A, Plus, etc.) users. Do you mount it BTX or ATX style for your card?

Some people mount it BTX style even though their casing is ATX so that when the fan is attached to the heatsink, the fan blows the RAM heatsinks (and the top part of the card) as well. But problem with this is, the air that is being blown has nowhere to flow except through differentiation in pressure.

ATX configuraton enables the air to be pulled away from the heatsink to the end or top of chassis, usually fitted with exhaust fans. Problem with this is, you probably need separate fans like the Vizo Propellar to cool down the top part of the card (where all the chips, caps and RAMs are located).

Yep, Ianho did that as well. I wonder how it will perform if mounted the ATX style.

HERE is something to read. Seems like best solution is the BTX solution.

Hey all taiko here,
I think I will touch my hand on HR-03 plus recently to cool down my gc,
the stock temp right now are scary at 62C at 100% fan speed...

and recommendation which fan is good to fair with this cooler?
and pls tell me where to get it too~

Silverstone FM92 at Thundermath, LYP 4th Floor. RM6x, I think.

hmm .. if not mistaken having cooler facing toward the GPU had temperature 54c ...

While having the cooler installed on other side of GPU with fan blowing toward the card achieved 55c ... 

Lastly cooler installed on other side of GPU with fan sucking air away achieved 58c ...

I hoped I didn't translated it wrongly ....

Hmm, I thought that fan blowing towards the card achieved higher temperature? While fan pulling the air away from the card achieved lower?

omg...
it is expensive >.<"
maybe get a chapalang 90mm fan to use 1st...
later baru change a better one...

btw, can I use the bracket to fit 80mm fan?
coz i still got few high cfm fan on hand...
*
Yes, you can fit it the 80mm fan with the bracket...at least that's what is written. The Silverstone FM92 is actually a 110mm fan fitted unto a 92mm casing.

No more good Delta's these days? biggrin.gif

Delta...most of them are really loud. Panaflo is good. Can refer to AllnGap's Blow Out Sales for more fan options.

If you do find the clips, tell me where to get 'em as well...been looking for a very long time for them. Oh, and the anti-vibration strips as well.

Thanks but I'll rather stick to the thick double sided tape for the meantime wink.gif

do u really need the anti-vibration rubber?
actually now i barely can hear any sound from my system,
the cpu is put of the table,
just beside my mouse,
and wat I hear is only the fan at the front panel there sucking the air into the casing...

In case the fan don't fit right, the anti-vibration strips will counter the shaking fans.

Doom...S1 does not come with RAM heatsink, does it? According to the pictures you posted, you didn't use any fans...may I know why? A single fan could add around 7-10°C difference and the noise is neglible...and you could add TWO fans to it...

Added on January 15, 2008, 10:01 amOh, btw, according to PC-Zone's pricelist...they have Accelero S1 and its fans...

btw if u are getting those make sure u get some thermal tape as well .. coz those stock thermal tape just won't stick for good initially unless u put a folded paper to slip between the ram sink and cooler itself ..

You should read what Ianho recommended. Clean the whole RAM bit completely with alchohol or spirit or whatever it is that he used...then baru you apply the new RAM heatsinks.

Wow, how do you install the fan there?


QUOTE(Doom @ Jan 15 2008, 06:03 PM)
btw those turbo fans that mentioned by you are sold separately and I just don't think its' worth the money to buy it ..

basically it only provides small amount of airflow .... sweat.gif
*
Those Turbo Module are quite cheap, aren't they? RM40 for 2 fans if I'm not mistaken. That's roughly less than £7 over at UK. You can get other fans like the Vizo Propeller or something smile.gif Or add your own 120mm or 92mm fans...But seems like you don't overclock at all, do you?

@clayclws

I did read his review about the ram sink issue .. the thing is it just need some heat to melt the tape to stick on the ram properly...

so I don't bother to go with alcohol cleaning .. some how hard to find it around local store..

btw... I don't OC and don't see the point of OC ... coz it just doesn't yield to much of different in term of real time gaming ..  2 to 5 fps ....

That vizo cooler is one hell a noise maker ... I never go for VIZO fan for one reason ... absolute noise maker ....

besides, AC S1 is a cooler that works well with passive mod or minimal airflow .. so even though putting a fan below would just let it gain better result during load ..

I rather maintain healthy ambient temperature within the case by pushing all the hot air out asap.... putting a fan below the card would just cycle part of hot air within the case ...

I think you generalize Vizo too much. I've seen this Vizo Propeller working at Sri Comp and AllIT. It's silent.

And...still, how did you mount your Noctua fan that way?

haha .. just a tip tie going though the fan screw hole opening and the ROM cage screw holes ... four edges need to ensure it doesn't tile the wrong direction ...

no trick .. just use what ever I have ... If I got tool here I would cut myself an acrylic or aluminum piece and use some L-shaped bracket to mount it nicely ...

Ah...tat's nice trick smile.gif
